Students of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) are currently protesting the prolonged industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The students barricaded the ever busy Akure-Ilesa-Ibadan expressway causing a heavy gridlock with scores of motorists and travellers stranded.
Also, the students were majorly at the main entrance of the Institution, chanting different solidarity songs and hold placards with various inscriptions such as— “End ASUU Strike”, “Save our future”
The Academic Staff Union of Universities last week decided to prolonged the strike due to constant stalemate in the talks between the Federal government and the striking lecturers.
